- Though he was in the form of God,
he did not regard equality with God
as something to be grasped.

and became obedient to death,
even death on a cross. - Let everything that breathes
offer praise to the Lord.

They are for the lawless and insubordinate, for the godless and sinful, for the unholy and irreligious; they are for those who slay their fathers and mothers, for murderers, for those who are fornicators, sodomites, slave traders, liars, perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to the sound teaching that conforms to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which has been entrusted to me.

- And thus we can have confidence in him
that if we ask anything
that is in accordance with his will,
he hears us. - Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying:
“To the one seated on the throne
and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and might
forever and ever.” - Rejoice always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
- May the God of peace—who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant— make you perfect in every respect so that you may do his will. And may he enable us to achieve what is pleasing to him through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
